Why Bet Full game lines with 2nd half/Live Lines on the market?

i see that you can get some extra value to bet on 2nd half instead of full game

you can find some extra info...injuries,penelties and "bad" days...

but bookies see that too..so the odds change...but you will have more info then pre-game

I'm hardly an expert, but I think taking the pregame line is much more profitable in the long run because of the historical data involved. I wouldn't try this model at all for second half totals. The chaos that occurs over the course of a full game is taken into account with the game line. You can find opportunities for 2nd half lines, but you can't see them far enough in advance to fully evaluate or take advantage of them. Fouls, injuries or someone having an off night/ game affect your ability to handicap the second half, and the halftime lines for all games do not occur at scheduled times. Interesting theory though.

Does anyone know if betwiz ever posted any stats for the "system" ?

you really don't even have to wait til halftime. If your book offers, do the live in play thing. You can see how much energy the teams are coming out with. You will have opportunities to hedge, middle and scalp your way to a + day

I do this often... key to being able to middle is the team u bet going on a hot streak though... u have to be right... especially since the lines are usually -130 both ways... at least in my book...
